Earlier in the week I realized that I have started a nice litle collection of vaping supplies. When I was organizing my e liquid, I noticed I have several bottles of e-liquid that I really didn't care for the taste. Does anyone have an idea or a practice for e-liquid that they didn't like? Is it one of those things that you throw away or try to salvage?
What to do with e-liquid that you DON'T like....

You should check out the pay it forward (pif) section. We have swap thread you could try to trade in and a treasure chest thread where you can give them to members in need

I mix it into other flavors or dilute it to see if it tastes better with more subtlety. As an example, have a juice that (while supposed to be a tobacco flavor) tastes more like a gross cayenne pepper sauce (without the picante heat). But mixing just a drop or two into a juice that's too light or just meh sometimes livens up that juice or adds variety.
I agree with Mad Scientist. I had a watermelon the was so-so, until I put about 10% of atomic Fireball in. It did not make it OMG!, but it improved it enough for me to finish it. The other suggestion is to let it steep if its new, it may get better.
If I don't like them I let them steep for a month then give them to my Granddaughter if I still don't like them.
I have over 200mls+ of juice I dont vape anymore.
I mix them all together in a big bottle and its labeled as Kamakazee. Waiting till the bottle is filled up and I will hopefully have the guts to try it lol.

I have two bottles labled "stew" one is mostly choccolates and the other is mostly coffee flavors so they re not all together scary. With both I am trying to overwhelm something to the point of vapability.
Some great ideas here already. One thing I used to do when I was buying juice and had one I didn't like was to mix in a bit of menthol. I love that stuff and it's strong enough to really change a lot of flavors.
If you guys are going to mix up your juice into unvapable disasters or toss them in the garbage, you should definitely check out the Pay It Forward and Group Treasure Chest threads. The treasure chest is a place where you can offer up free e-cig gear and juice to anyone whom comes along to claim it that may want or actually need it. The Pay It Forward thread is really cool. You take the last offer posted, and in return, you offer up an offer yourself, for the next person to come along.
I was completely out of juice and with no money to order more. My mother likes to help me out, sure.. But she doesnt have the money to add more debt to her credit cards. So she would rather buy me cigarettes than juice. I'm a young man currently looking for work so it is admittedly sometimes hard for me to get juice when I accidentally run out before replenishing my juice funds. (which happens rarely. Once or twice a year I'd say) I really could have used some juice last week! (not asking for any now, thank you) But yeah... Getting back on track: Its always a great feeling to give. Charity is so often forgotten in a capitalistic society. But the truth is even a democratic republic NEEDS charity to prosper as a nation. A nation that turns a blind eye to the poorest of their poor, is a doomed & unmoral nation, its been said. If you have juice that your not going to vape, definitely just keep your eyes out for people like me that need juice. Just look for the signs. Young girl, young man.. Posting about having a problem affording juice. When you see someone struggling to find a juice that they enjoy, you might also like to help someone like that. Its up to you! The PIF and Treasure Chest threads are great though. And once you have 25 posts ( I think thats the mandatory amount now? ) you can get your ecf account verified and then you can even SELL juice in the classifieds here. (although, if I am out of juice, and you have some, hey, I'll pay you for it or I'll pay for shipping with my paypal buy it later account. I just need to pay off the 100 bucks I already have to pay back lol.
GL finding fun and inventive ways to give your juice to those that need it! It will be greatly appreciated, trust me, I know. I smoked cigarettes all last week because I couldn't afford to order juice online and we cannot use the credit card until whats on it is paid off.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Until yesterday, I had no idea was steeping was, so I have about 8 bottles that I have put away for that purpose. I think I may also have an allergy to the PG, so I may have to give them away anyways 
I bookmarked your link loxmythe and will take a look at it.

Cara I have an allergy to PG also. I have a vendor that I buy unflavored vg from and I mix it 50/50 with my favorite juice that is 70/30. I battled mouth ulcers for a year and a half then the light bulb went on in my brain so I tried this method. I've had maybe 2 in the last couple of months and this is compared to having 3 to 4 at all times. I don't know what your allergy is but if its like mine give it a try.
If I don't like them immediately I let them hang around for a while and later on when i notice like you did they are sitting on the back shelf I will try a small amount, see if my opinion has changed and if not they go in my 'play around box'. Sometimes that juice ends up being just what I need to spark up or mellow out something else I got. Now and then I get an idea for a flavor mix and that bottle is there to play with and so on. Probably never use it ll up that way unless it ends up as a 50-50 with another bottle but it gets a second life. I have really ended up with some great tasting flavors out of my play box.
I am also a bit leery about giving away my e-liquid even to people I know unless I know for sure I just got it and its fresh, or I am using from the same bottle and share with a friend. Its easy to forget how long its been on the shelf and so even giving it a friend next door worries me. I should start making a practice of dating the bottle when I receive it and then giving away would probably not be a worry.

I can generally mix a couple together to fix the to sweet/sour or to strong/mild, but if it has a SPICE I don't like, nothing I have tried will remove that kind of nasty. Chris
Thanks for posting the links to the treasure chest and PIF, I had no idea they were here, (so many threads, too little time to browse), I have many flavors I tried and don't think it's right to resell once opened... off to make some one happy...
Oh, man. Did I write this in my sleep or did you read my mind? Exactly this.
Who is your vendor Ldybug? I noticed a rash on my face, mainly my forehead and jawbone area. If you mix your fave juice with VG, does it change the flavor?
